NIcoLAs JEAN FoR'rUNnsoofor'rAms, FRANCE.

T0 all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, NICOLAS JEAN FORTU- Nnsoo, engineer, subject of the Roumanian Kingdom, residing at 62 yChausse dAnt-in, Paris, Republic of France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Reiillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

These drawings show two constructional forms of the improved plug.

Figure 1 shows a vert-ical section of' the plug inserted in a bottle neck. Fig. 2 shows a corresponding vertical section, the plug being in that position wherein it permits of the liquid contained in the bottle being emptied. Fig. 3 shows a plan. Figs. 4 to 6 show a second constructional form of the plug corresponding to Figs. 1 to 3.

The plug shown in Figs. 1 to 3 consist-s of a cylindrical piece A provided at its lower part with two lugs or feet b and b1 and a project-ion 4c with a recess in the center and radial holes a, avnear its periphery; a second piece C having the shape of a top with an eXtension inthe upward direction of its axis and a pointed extension in a downward direction; of a third piece consisting of a cylindrical piece like A but provided with lugs d, Z at its upper part, the said piece B being provided in the middle with a spherical hole e in which the top C is so located as to form a valve resting on the part B as its seat. The piece or top C could be replaced by a ball.

When the bottle is filled up, pieces B, C, A are inserted into the neck which parts practically form a whole and are driven far enough to leave in the neck of the bottle room for a proper cork. The parts B and A being emery ground into the neck of the bottle, it is impossible to remove the plug, for if it be driven in the bottle will burst and if an attempt be made to withdraw it through the neck, it would offer no hold to any extracting tool because it is made of'a hard material such as glass, porcelain and the like and presents a plane surface.

When the bottle is slanted to pour out the liquid, the top or ball C leaves its seat B and permits of theliqui'd issuing through the opening e and then through the openings a, a.

The bottle being emptied, it is impossible to ll it again for, as already stated, it is neither possible to drive in or withdraw the Specication of Letters Patent.

.to the interior of the bottle.

In th-esmodiication illustrated by Figs. 4 to 6 the piece B acting as a seat and the top or ball C acting as a valve are the same as in the hereinbefore described arrangement while the part A isl modified. This part of cylindrical shape is provided with three feet Z9, b1, Z at the lower part and a projection 0 having a hole in` the center. Between the three feet there are provided around the center three openings a, a1, a2 these outlets being covered by a cap f provided with indentations or notches all around its edge, which cap is kept at a certain distance from'the openings a by a central downwardly projecting part or stem g forming part of the part 0. This plug is introduced into the bottle in the same way as the one previously described. When the bottle is slanted the pressure or thrust of the liquid displaces the part O and the liquid issues through the opening e, the openings a and the indentations of the cap f The least movement to bring back the bottle into the vertical position returns the valve C to its position and closes the opening e against the iniow` of atle, it being only necessary to grind with emery the part of the bottle neck into which the plug enters.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

A non-refllable bottle valve comprising a disk having a centrally disposed opening therein forming a valve seat, a cylindrical member resting with its lower edge against the upper surface of said disk, a second disk provided With angularly shaped ports in its periphery resting upon said cylindrical portion, a projection onsaid second disk extending centrally from the same toward the valve seat but spaced therefrom, said projection being provided with a cavity extending` upwardly into the body portion of the same, a valve formed of a conical portion adapted to rest in the valve seat, the upper portion of the valve having a stem adapted to loosely enter the said cavity, the body of the valve around its stem being` cut away to form a depression into which the lower edge of the rst mentioned projection is adapted to extend when the valve is in normal position, whereby the valve may freely move When liquid is to be poured from the bott-le and its seating insured when the bottle is returned to upright position.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
